The upcoming Will Smith movie is already making a buzz about his Oscar nomination, after getting banned for a decade.

Can Will Smith Find Himself in Oscar Nomination for His First Movie Since Slap Incident?

Will Smith may be banned from the Oscar, but his acting skills can not keep him
from the awards. The one-man army has managed to pull his career to new heights
for over thirty years. And even in these times, he plans to continue working on
his new films. And maybe this next film will help him back in the spotlight, but
this time, for good reasons. The question is, are the Oscars ready to accept him
soon?



The I Am Legend actor was under heavy scrutiny since earlier this year because
of the slap gate incident at the Academy Awards.

He got himself banned for a decade from attending the award show. Even his
public apology to Chris Rock did not help much. Now his first film since the
Oscar is up for release and it is likely to make Will a candidate for the Oscar
nominations this year.


WILL THERE BE AN OSCAR NOMINATION FOR WILL SMITH FOR HIS NEXT FILM?

Will Smith’s

new Apple movie is supposed to be one of the biggest movies to release this
year. There are already talks about him getting nominated for the Oscar awards.
The same awards during which, his actions nearly messed up his long-built
career. Emancipation is a wartime movie directed by Antoine Fuqua.

The film was set for an early release but had to be delayed after the Oscar

drama. The $120 million movie remained on hold for things to cool down, and is
now scheduled to be released on December 2022. Emancipation is based

on the life of Whipped Peter who escapes slavery from a plantation in Louisiana

The photos of his whipped back were later released for the public to see. Will
usually want to write a movie about black love instead of black slavery, but to
him, this movie is about love. Whether the public also receives the movie with
the same love or not, is left to be seen. And even if they do, even if Will is
nominated for the Oscars, he will not be able to attend for receiving his award.
